Murder conviction was reversed yesterday per the AG's concession that it's structural error: https://www4.courts.ca.gov/opinions/documents/B335084.PDF

Apparently this judge was censured, but not removed from office - interesting stuff in the order: https://cjp.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2024/05/Cole_DO_Censure_Stip_05-29-24.pdf

Not a lawfag. So Rockhill's bombshell communication to bailiff was about how he didn't shoot anyone? Sounds like it was all Primo. Why are they all up Rockhill's ass

This is explained later in the opinion:

According to Smalls, Rockhill told him that he was

involved in a plan with “the ladies and Primo” (i.e., Louie) to

“beat up and rob[]” Matthews. Rockhill further said that Primo

departed from the plan and shot Matthews. These alleged

statements are inconsistent with Rockhill’s testimony at trial.

Rockhill testified that he was present at the scene of the shooting

only because he planned to “retrieve the scooter and just leave.”

He also testified that he did not know why Louie was present at

the scene and that he had no prior communications with Louie.

Consequently, had Smalls testified, his testimony would have

impeached Rockhill’s testimony and substantially undermined

both Rockhill’s credibility and his substantive defense.
